04texag Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I was able to find a few 15 and 16 year olds and signed them to transfers. They all went down as "future" transfers with arrival dates about 2 years out. Is this because the transfers can't go through until they are 18? Are there any work arounds?

Nacaw Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) FIFA has a rule in place that means it's only possible to sign domestic based players under 18. While there are workarounds and exceptions IRL, I belive FM simply dumb it down to not being possible. Transfers like Sancho and Bellingham make use of some of those exceptions, meaning they wouldn't be possible in FM. EU/EEA used to have a special status where players could move at 16, but I think that was removed as well. If you are managing in the UK that's a moot point anyway because of Brexit.

Gbrexiton Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I believe that in England, you are able to sign U18 players immediately if they are domestic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
